HSBC is planning to invest over $6bn in Asia over the next five years with the aim of establishing its prominence in the region’s wealth management space, according to a report by Reuters.

Lim commented: “I am honoured by this tremendous opportunity to lead HSBC in Hong Kong. This is an exceptional time to be part of HSBC as we accelerate our investment in Asia.
